Difference between "My Contacts" and "Other" Contacts

[Tony Law]

My office just upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003.
I've noticed in Outlook, in Contacts, that some Contacts
that I have access to are listd under "My Contacts" but
others are listed under the "Other" section of Contacts.
Why is that?

Other Contacts folders that are not configured in your folder list. By
definition they are not owned by you.

I don't understand. What do you mean "Configured in my folder list?" So
Contacts under My Contacts are Contacts that I am set as "Owner" of and the
"Other" Contacts are just Contacts I have Permissions to?

Yes, all Contacts folders that are shown in the Folder List Navigation will
show up under "My Contacts"
